Walk It Through: The Ladder Fall

Without regard to fault, intoxication alone, and the game the employer paid for.

A warehouse worker falls from a ladder on shift and hurts a shoulder, and a supervisor says the fall was the worker's own fault.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

One worker and one employer. Benefit amounts, claim deadlines, and hearings before the board are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
